Simplify both sides then isolate the variable and it gives you y=3.6
Answer:
the slope of the tangent line at (40, f(40))the slope of the tangent line at (15, f(15)) the slope of the tangent line at (10, f(10))the slope of the line segment from (10, f(10)) to (40, f(40))
Simplify both sides of the equation.
